  1. Is there any way to recover old save files from Starfield?


    I bought the premium edition upgrade to play early, reached level 13 and then my files disappeared after I kept receiving this error message:

    “We can't save more data for this game or app

    <my gamertag>

    Your Xbox is out of space for saved data. To make room, select a game or app from My games & apps, press the Menu button on your controller, and then select Manage game and add-ons. (0x80830003)”

    So I went to the support pages, followed the instructions to “delete save data” and restart the console. That didn’t work, so I went to the next step of removing my account, then signing back in.

    Now my save files are all gone and my only option is to start a new game. This is frustrating because I feel like I paid extra money to download this game and play it early, just to have six days of work vanish.

    Is there anyway to recover my save files? Please help.

    ***SPOILER***

    I had just received my second ship from a certain insect themed bounty hunter’s lair and then resolved an issue with a certain ship hovering above a “paradise planet” where people go to escape the laws of settled space.

    I’ve lost a level 58 and a level 93. Bethesda has been no help. They deny any accountability for their crappy game constantly malfunctioning. The freezing, the crashing, the deleted saves… Bethesda games always appear to be great at first, then you play them for a while and experience all the bugs. The only character I have is stuck in a bugged quest with no way out (all the saves are within a prison and I can’t fast travel out; the ship I’m supposed to exit on says “Inaccessible,” and Bethesda basically said, “Sorry! My bad.” Worthless.

    Is there any way to recover old save files from Starfield?

    Hi JuliusCeaser25,

    Welcome to Microsoft Xbox Community Forum. I understand that you're having trouble with your Starfield save files. I understand how frustrating it can be to lose progress in a game, especially after investing so much time into it. Let's see what we can do to help you recover your save files.



    Just to confirm; after deleting saved data and restarting your console, you are now able to fix the error "We can't save more data for this game or app" and you are able to play Starfield. However, the files for your progress on the game was deleted as well and so, you are now prompted to start a new game, correct?

    There are a few possible causes for this issue. One is that your Xbox storage is full and cannot save any more data. Another is that your save files are corrupted or incompatible with the latest version of the game. A third is that there is a problem with your Xbox Live account or cloud sync.



    To troubleshoot this issue, please follow these steps:

    1. Check your Xbox storage and make sure you have enough space for the game and its save files. You can do this by going to Settings > System > Storage. If you need to free up some space, you can delete some games or apps that you don't use, or move them to an external hard drive.

    2. Check your save files and make sure they are not corrupted or incompatible. You can do this by going to My games & apps > Starfield > Menu button > Manage game and add-ons > Saved data. If you see any files with a yellow exclamation mark or a red X, that means they are corrupted or incompatible and need to be deleted. You can also try to delete the reserved space file, which is used for updates and patches.

    3. Check your Xbox Live account and cloud sync settings. You can do this by going to Settings > Account > Sign-in, security & passkey. Make sure you are signed in with the correct account and that your password is up to date. You can also go to Settings > System > Backup & transfer > Sync my settings and make sure that cloud sync is enabled.



    If none of these steps work, I'm afraid there is no way to recover your old save files from Starfield. They may have been overwritten or deleted permanently. However, you can still start a new game and enjoy the game's features and content.
